I did not consider the intercooler as a bumpable point since his turbo project is a combination of parts from different vehicles...aka a Frankenstein build. If it was a factory turbo kit then I would have had grounds to say he added a bigger or smaller intercooler. As it is now, there is no reference point to say he increased the size or not. The stock intercooler that matches the turbo in his car is actually bigger, but it also came from a bigger twin turbo engine.
The base class was determined by his weight to power ratio. All possible upgardes he did to the engine's performance was checked on the dyno. I verified that the car has no boost controller or vvt switches. So as it stands I classed the car on it's weight/power ratio and the 3 modification points (springs and sway bar)
I classed the car as an SS car. If Devi chooses to run in EP, it is his choice. As far as I am concerned it is an SS car. If/when he does his brake upgrade, based on the points system he will be bumped into EP.

now since me eh know anything about turbo car (fact), is an intercooler designed to work better, the faster air is moving past it? would the air move faster past it while it's stationary on the dyno with the fans blowing at the same rate? can a dyno show the increase in performance of such an upgrade?
